Saving your work
Before you turn off the computer, save your work on the hard
disk drive or other writable media. This is one of the most
important rules of computing.
Always save your data even when you are using Standby
mode. If your battery fully discharges, your information will be
lost. Your computer can be configured to warn you when the
battery is running low see “What to do when the battery alarm
sounds” on page 111.
Saving documents is quick and easy, so it is a good idea to get
in the habit of saving frequently.
Many programs offer a feature that saves documents at
regular intervals. Check your programs’ documentation to see
if they have an automatic save feature.
Saving files

program, click Save.
If you are working with a document that already has a file
name, this is all you need to do. If you created a new
document, your program displays a Save As dialog box.
